Need a motorcycle towed in Cudahy? Ours go on a flatbed, chocked upright with soft straps at three to four points — no hook-and-chain, no wheel-lift — and come off looking exactly as they went on. Dispatch runs 7 days a week — we stage about 7 road miles out at our South Side Milwaukee yard, quick to WIS-32 (S Lake Drive / E College Avenue), WIS-794 (John R. Plewa Memorial Lake Parkway), and CTH-Y (Layton Avenue), with a typical Cudahy arrival around 24 minutes. Most local bike tows run $135–$200, quoted before we load. Call (414) 279-5510.
The question every rider asks
A motorcycle has nothing to lean on but the tie-down. We load yours on a flatbed, lock the front wheel in a wheel chock, and run soft straps around the bars or frame — never over plastics, levers, or with a hook-and-chain. The bike rides upright and arrives exactly as it left.
Local to Cudahy
This is how motorcycle calls actually go in Cudahy: which roads the work comes off (WIS-32 (S Lake Drive / E College Avenue), WIS-794 (John R. Plewa Memorial Lake Parkway), and CTH-Y (Layton Avenue)), what the season throws at riders, and how quickly a flatbed shows up.
Anyone taking the John R. Plewa Memorial Lake Parkway (WIS-794) or Layton Avenue (CTH-Y) toward Mitchell Airport and the I-94 / Mitchell Interchange between 7 and 9 in the morning — or 4 and 6 in the evening — sits in commuter congestion. Layton stays busy the rest of the day too, loaded with airport and packing-plant trucks, while Packard Avenue handles the downtown and plant-shift crowd. WIS-32 runs the eastern side as South Lake Drive and East College Avenue. Watch 15th Avenue, posted at about 5 short tons — the city's lowest weight limit.
Around Cudahy the two-wheel worries are the ordinary ones — expansion joints, bridge-deck seams, ramp sand, left-turners on WIS-32 (S Lake Drive / E College Avenue). Our job starts after: load it flat, strap it soft, deliver it no worse than we found it.
~7 road miles from our South Side yard, with coverage across Milwaukee & Waukesha counties. Live ETA confirmed on the call.
Bought a bike or pulling one from storage? We load it the same careful way and bring it home.
Drivers near the water learn it fast: pavement close to the shore runs colder and icier than inland streets just a few blocks west, and the lakefront at Sheridan Park draws in lake-effect snow and dense fog. This is a humid continental stretch of the Lake Michigan shore — winters come in cold and snowy, summers warm and humid.
Riding season around Cudahy effectively runs May through October — most bikes go into storage around mid-November and come back out in early April. Through the cold months, most Cudahy bike calls are storage runs — hauling machines to winter storage in fall and back home or to the shop come spring.
Riders around Cudahy live in the company town of American motorcycling: Harley-Davidson was founded here in Milwaukee, is still headquartered on Juneau Avenue, with the museum down on Canal Street. Those weekend rides — the 115-mile Kettle Moraine Scenic Drive (Elkhart Lake to Whitewater Lake); Holy Hill and the Washington County back roads; Lake Drive and the Lake Michigan shoreline — stay covered too. One call from the shoulder and the dispatcher confirms the pickup point and a live ETA to you.
The riding calendar runs hard here: Thursday Bike Nights at the Harley-Davidson Museum all summer, and Mama Tried — the country’s biggest winter motorcycle show — every February at the Eagles Ballroom.
